EDITOR’S NOTE<br />
We <strong>All</strong><br />
Love<br />
<strong>Winner</strong>s<br />
There’s something undeniably<br />
attractive about success that<br />
it’s part of our subconscious<br />
behaviour, wired into our<br />
DNA and selected for through<br />
evolution. Because in doing so,<br />
the strong survive to perpetuate<br />
the gene pool.<br />
Not all winners are<br />
championed equally. There is<br />
such a thing as winning with<br />
humility and grace. In sports,<br />
this is called sportsmanship. It’s<br />
why we don’t tolerate winning<br />
through cheating. It’s why we<br />
cheer loudest, not always for the<br />
guy we expect to win, but for the<br />
one who works the hardest and<br />
gives it their best. That’s why<br />
an underdog can be a winner,<br />
even if at the end of the match or<br />
competition they walk away with<br />
a silver and not a gold.<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> cover<br />
personalities Nick Fong, Alex Lee and Leslie Cheng are certainly a winning combination who have successfully<br />
recognised each other’s strengths to create a successful interior design business. Their company, Nu Infinity, has<br />
been instrumental in the design of many residential and commercial projects in the country; read about how the<br />
trio make it work on page 22.<br />
Speaking of sportsmanship, in this issue’s Swing (page 62) we tip our cap at the global tournaments that<br />
truly discern champions from an already stellar list of elite players. From the Augusta Masters to the PGA<br />
Championship, this is where champions are made.<br />
Like stopping to smell the roses, success should be celebrated, and driving a Maserati is one of many ways to<br />
enjoy the spoils of your toil. We take a closer look at the all new Ghibli on page 120.<br />
Of course, what is wealth without good health? <strong>Tropicana</strong>’s resident health and nutrition expert Shereen Khoo<br />
shares tips on maintaining the health of your heart for increased longevity and a better quality of life.<br />
Last but not least, a resource we use widely here at <strong>Tropicana</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> – Wikipedia. You may be surprised<br />
to hear that Wikipedia, unlike other tech related entities such as Google and Facebook, is not for profit. For that<br />
reason, it has not generated for Jimmy Wales the billions that Google has done for Larry Page and Sergey Brin, or<br />
Facebook has for Mark Zuckerberg.<br />
Yet if our interview on page 112 with Jimmy Wales is anything to go by, you couldn’t meet a more deserving<br />
winner. Conceived because of a firm belief in truth and freedom of information, Jimmy Wales created Wikipedia<br />
for the greater good; and as Mark Zuckerberg and the Cambridge Analytica revelations have helped to underline,<br />
winners should be good guys.<br />
So whatever you’re striving for, remember there are many paths you can take. Do the right thing, serve a<br />
higher purpose and stick to the one that you can live with and which lets you sleep at night.
